Handwork

Embroidery scissors are special scissors used for snipping thread when beadweaving. 
The finest embroidery scissors are usually made out of stainless steel, and the blades can be re-sharpened several times.
Embroidery scissors can range in size from small and decorative to large and functional. Finding the right pair of scissors for you is a matter of personal choice.
Embroidery scissors are mainly used to cut thread when beadweaving. You should take into account the type of beading thread that you are using when choosing your scissors, since some of the newer braided and bonded beading threads require special tools to make clean and even cuts. You can also use some embroidery scissors to cut bead embroidery mediums such as Stiff Stuff, Ultrasuede, or thin leather.
